Gleeson comeback a work in progress

THE last few months have been kind to Keith Gleeson - in complete contrast to the earlier part of the season.

Gleeson had to battle a serious shoulder injury and a career threatening double leg break, but is on the verge of helping Leinster to a Celtic League and Heineken Cup double.

He even has a decent chance of making it to New Zealand to show he has lost none of the mettle that earned him 23 caps.
